Richmond HVAC Engineer Talks Twitter at Virginia Council of CEOs Luncheon.

Sean Cantrell, owner of Marshall Mechanical, gets the opportunity to share the stage with Dave Saunders, president of Madison & Main, at last Thursday's Virginia Council of CEOs luncheon.

Sean tells his peers how social networking, blogging, key website changes and SEO/PPC ads have all positively impacted his business in just the last few months.

"Much of the new residential business Marshall Mechanical has received recently has been from new customers finding our company online, reading our blog, following us on Twitter or checking out our LinkedIn profile," Sean says.

And there's more helpful information coming on the website and the blog for both residential customers as well as commercial. Just today, Sean announced he'd match the residential Lennox rebates dollar-for-dollar thru the Lennox June 12th spring offer period, up to $1,200.

In addition to providing Richmond HVAC and plumbing services, Sean is available for speaking engagements or panel discussions on social networking or engineering design and solutions. Please call the Marshall Mechanical office at 804.323.0189 for more information.

Worried about cooling your home properly in the RVA summer heat? Double the Lennox rebate savings and more thru June 12th!

Are you worried about your home staying cool and comfortable all summer long in the Richmond VA heat and humidity? Is your Richmond HVAC system outdated and not as energy-efficient as you'd like it to be? Would you like to purchase a new HVAC system when the savings opportunity is significant both at time of installation and on your energy bills every month, and also qualify for 2009 Federal tax credits?

Marshall Mechanical is in it's final days of the Lennox Spring Rebate program. As you may know, rebates are available for any Lennox full HVAC system installed by June 12, 2009. Now, to save you even more money, Marshall Mechanical will match, dollar for dollar, any Lennox heating and air conditioning rebate you qualify for within their Spring program.

What does this mean for the RVA homeowner? It means there's no better time to replace your Richmond HVAC system than right now. Here are all the ways in which you can save:

1. The 2009 Lennox Spring promotion allows Marshall Mechanical to customize an HVAC system based on your home's specific requirements. We can pick a Lennox system from a range of qualifying products from their outdoor, indoor, healthy climate and controls lines and the homeowner will be eligible for a rebate of up to $1,200 for buying one in each category. The rebate includes up to $1,200 for a system purchased and installed by June 12, 2009.
2. As a special Memorial Day offer effective today, May 23rd, Marshall Mechanical will now match whatever Lennox HVAC rebate the homeowner qualifies for, dollar for dollar in savings. This amount will be deducted from your estimate. This means the homeowner can qualify for up to an additional $1,200 in savings. This offer will be good for HVAC systems installed by June 12, 2009.
3. And the homeowner can still qualify for up to $1,500 in Federal tax credits which are available on HVAC and non-solar water heaters for those installed in 2009 & 2010 in existing homes. This gives you YET ANOTHER way to save.
4. And all this is IN ADDITION to the savings you'll get each month by having a new more energy-efficient unit installed in your home for true comfort all year round. This could add up to hundreds of dollars in savings each year.

Air conditioning unit not working in the RVA heat? Don't panic. We have value-based solutions!

With the heat index in the Richmond, VA, area at high levels and temperatures running into the 90s, many people are turning on their air conditioning and cooling units for the first time and finding that they are not working properly. Most homeowners complain that either the air conditioning unit doesn't turn on or that it runs constantly but doesn't cool. When this happens and the temperatures are in the 90s, many people panic and want their air conditioning system replaced immediately without proper evaluation and discussion, and often a homeowner simply shops based on price alone.

DON'T CATCH YOURSELF IN THIS SITUATION! Turn to trained professionals who will help you solve your immediate problem and perform a thorough evaluation on your HVAC system BEFORE you replace it. Why? First, replacing is not always the answer. Often A/C units just need a simple service repair to get them up and running efficiently again. Second, a thorough evaluation should be completed before determining if the system needs to be replaced and, if so, what are the best options for the home and environment.

We strive to solve the immediate problem quickly, either by fixing the current unit and/or by installing a window air conditioning unit in the bedroom or main area of the home while we conduct the evaluation. The homeowner or buying consumer should not be in a panic mode while purchasing an HVAC unit that will be in their home for years to come. And certainly, buying on price alone is not the answer. Homeowners should buy on a number of factors including price, value, energy efficiency, brand, manufacturer's rebates, Federal tax credits, size of home, number of floors, placement of A/C unit or units (i.e. basement), etc.

At Marshall Mechanical, we aim to build relationships with our customers for years to come. We want you to be happy with both our service approach as well as our recommendations, if new products are necessary. Sometimes a simple fix is all that is needed but if your home requires more, then we want you to get the best value your money can buy.

So stay both cool and calm! If you or a family member is experiencing problems with the home's air conditioning / cooling unit, please call your Richmond heating, cooling and plumbing partner at 804.323.0189. You'll be glad you did.

Are you an age 60+ homeowner? Or do you have a parent or grandparent who is?

Marshall Mechanical offers homeowners age 60+ a 15% discount off our HVAC and Plumbing labor fees for service or installations. It's that simple. This is just another way we serve our community and provide extra savings for those in need.

Sean Cantrell or Mike Smith will be happy to answer any questions you have and give you the best advice based on our years of experience. Please email or call Mike to schedule an appointment at 804.323.0189.
